I am thoroughly convinced the best people in the world are those
who make things.

I typically am very receptive. Diction, body language, that kind of
stuff as well as other little things like flavors in food, bad
acting and production in movies, and noticing when things are made
on the cheap.

Movies
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Catch Me if You Can,
Children of Men, LOTR series, anything from Pixar (minus Cars 2 and
Planes...) or Studio Ghibli, Hot Fuzz, Silver Linings Playbook,
Steve Zissou and the Life Aquatic, Avengers, District 9, Old Boy
(original, haven't seen the new one.), The Dark Knight, The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Jiro Dreams of Sushi, 50/50, Cabin
in the Woods, Gran Torino, Taken, Wreck-It Ralph, Her, Pacific Rim,
Looper, Godzilla (2014), X-Men: First Class and Days of Future
Past, Interstellar, The Grand Budapest Hotel

Books
I don't read a lot right now. Audio books suit my time and
distractions better.
Hitchhiker's Guide series, Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings
series, Steve Jobs Biography, A Song of Ice and Fire series, In the
Name of the Wind, Ready Player One, I'm becoming a fan of Kurt
Vonnegut as well as a few others who's names I'll include
later.

Music
I am usually pretty cold blooded when it comes to listening to
music. This means I like to be influential, to be more
upbeat/fast/brain tickled if any of that makes sense. I have
listened to certain albums and it has made me feel like I could
explode. Funk commands my basic motor functions. I pretty much
detest dubstep and "pop-country".
Fang Island, Modest Mouse, Justice, Anamanaguchi, Daft Punk, MGMT,
LCD Sound System, They Might Be Giants, Alex Mauer, David Pencil,
The Black Keys, Blur, Chromeo, Bonobo, Flight of the Conchords,
Weird Al, Franz Ferdinand, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Girl Talk, The
White Stripes, Miike Snow, Beck, Gorillaz, The Lonely Island, Death
Cab for Cutey, Empire of the Sun, Modeselektor.

Food
Soup is the best but I do love me some rice dishes, fresh
baked/broiled fish, steak, burritos, pizza, tamales, sushi,
tapenade, felafel. The Cheesecake Factory's Red Velvet Cheesecake
is amazing. I can be picky some nights but you'd be hard pressed to
find a place for me to turn my nose up at. Unless we're talking
fast food or holes in the wall.. Is that hypocritical?

Color
I had been sitting on this one as a little joke but the more I
thought about it and the more art I complete or imagine, I couldn't
pick one. Art is all about contrast, complimentary, warmth, cold,
juxtaposition. Bright oranges and hints of red and yellow alongside
deep purples with bits of cerulean and a few streaks of evergreen.
Sunsets made fantasy with the colors you feel you see more than you
actually do. And sometimes you are surprised how right you can be.
Check out this beautiful madness.

Something to focus my mind on
My laptop with Internet
Games (as a field of study)
Sense of humor (I love making people laugh. If I can't, I feel
kinda shitty)
Close friends
Food that inspires me to cook

How sharp the double edged sword of being the species that is
capable or recognizing intellectual consciousness.

My generalized anxiety and depression of which I suffer daily. I am
getting help but know each day is not as easy to face as the last.
Additionally, it comes with it self-confidence issues. This
basically means I have my good days and my bad days. I feel this is
important to put on here as it's irrational, painful, and
indiscriminately ruthless. This doesn't mean I let it just take
over but if you can relate or know how bad it can be you know it's
nothing to take lightly. Sometimes it ruins a perfectly normal day,
sometimes an upbeat companion is all I need to work it out.
Scoffers need no apply.

I'm still thinking about whether or not I want to have kids. It's
very much dependent on the kind of person I meet , the kind of
political/economical climate and stability the two of us would have
to offer. Being of a household that fell apart very much changes
the process in which I consider this. I don't talk about much of
this I've found so I figure here's a good opportunity.

- Though Estabrook's is closed , the thought of going to a beer
garden and drinking a massive, tasty beer sounds fun.

- You like to plan things. Going to other countries, going to IKEA
and filling a house will cool shit, road trips, or parties. And
delightfully complicating things by including someone else(that's
me!)sounds fun.

- You want to get some olives and cheese and pretend to be all
snooty and shit.

- You detest knee jerk reactions or cheesy one liners for humor in
relationships. I like to stay sharp and not fall on tropes when it
comes to observing and reacting to things.

- The idea of going on a date where we basically pretend to be
mute: We simply point to things, read each others faces and
expressions, and everything we do to communicate becomes more
intimate and engrossing. Waitstaff and customer service
interactions are acceptable exclusions. Laughing as well. ;) (At
least after the first date or at least a week of remote
conversation, haha)

- Trying something new or out of practice to both of us is not only
exciting but satisfying.

- If you have more to say than just, "You know how to have fun!".
What kind of fun? There's a lot.

- You want to find your best friend as well as a long term
relationship.

- You get tickled in your brain by the algorithm of this site's
match percentages. Especially considering how little it can matter
when a 90% match says that they are 100% certain they want someone
who believes in the same politics they do and you don't agree with
them. This site kind of can kill that romantic irony, sadly.

- You don't wear pajama pants out of the house, like going to
Applebee's/TGI Fridays/Red Lobster, or enjoy "The Big Bang Theory".
Or at least, LEAST, don't prefer to do any of the previous.

- You are not put off by the fact this site thinks I'm not a
romantic by others standards. I am very emotionally expressive to
the right kind of people.
